or in some convenient part of the suburbs
of the city, to which they could drive in a
reasonable time, and to which gentleman
could go and take his family with feeling
Of certainty and security that the members
thereof would not come in contact with OBJ
or rude treatment from prOmiscu0uS gather
ings. In years past something of this kind
has been more than once talked up, and
weak efforts have been made to carry out
the idea. The project has failed, however,
as often as it has been undertaken. 1t is to
be once more undertaken, aud with pros
poets that it will succeed at last. The pro-
ject this time is III the hands of persons who
are business men and who will go
at work in q business way to carry out
business proposition. The idea is to build
suburban club house or hotel at Lake Como,
upon which $50, 600 will be expended this
season. The exact location selected for the
structure is at the head Of Como avenue,
where there will be very handsome view
in nearly every direction. and where access
to it will be convenient The whole inSti
tuition will be under the control of about
one hundred gentlemen in st. Paul, who
are to be the stockholders. This club house
will be the headquarters for tobOggan clubs
and all similar organizations. There will
be all abundance of good stabling and every
accommodation for all kinds of visitors.
Messrs. Hodgson & STAN are the architects,
and they have been out several
times to the lake for the pur-
pose of studying the location and
the general topography of the country with
view of determining the style of archi-
lecture of the structure. 1t is impossible,
of course. at this early day to state what
the style adopted will be. All that can now
be said is that the building will be large,
and furnished with broad yerandas. The
structure, the grounds and the whole in
stitution will be in the hands and under the
control of board OF governors. who will
have supreme control. No one will be adj
United except on passes.

George Fl. Hazzard-The trouble about alb
stracts is holding us back a good deal, though
the trouble has been remedied good deal
lately. AS to business there is no trouble.
A great deal of real estate is changing hands
in every part of the city and trade is very
active. The city of St. Paul is large one,
and while sales are large and numerous they
are not more so than the increase of popula-
ton and the natural wants and requirements
of business demand. There never was
more healthy market in the world than the
real estate market of st. Paul to-day. There
is trading in every nook and corner of the
city and a good healthy activity exists.
j. Fairchlld 81 Co.-BusinesS is not remark
ably active, though there is good deal of
property changing hands. We have sold
large number of small lots. 5000 and 81, 900
each: also block 10, Bellevue addition, for
$4,000; also twenty-six acres between st.
Paul and White Bear, on the White Bear road,
for $50 per acre.
Beaumont & Cathcart-The week has been
one OF unusual activity at remunerative fig
ures, showing marked upward tendency
with unusual frmuess, and but small desire
on the part of purchasers to make "a turn
We confidently look forward to Il very active
months business in May, at we'll increased
and solidly advancing prices. To illustrate
the souHdness of investments, an Eastern
party put up $500 earnest money, and three
days later refused $1,000 on Il small piece Of
property. The sales of this office run up to
over S150,000 during the week, and embrace
holdings of acres north of Como and
elsewhere, West St. Paul. inside business
property and Western avenue, near Front
street. Now that quiet relgns in Duluth and
Ashland Eastern money comes TO its true
home. and more is coming at once. A very
strong movement is predicted near White
Bear, Wildwood Park and Castle station, and
the slow-going members of the community
may look for some heavy surprises in the i'm
mediate future
